Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker  &  Parsley  Producing  Properties  87-B,  Ltd.  (the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership organized in 1987 under the laws of the State of Texas.

The  Partnership  engages in oil and gas production in Texas and is not involved
in any industry segment other than oil and gas.

Note 2.     Basis of presentation

In  the  opinion  of  management,  the  unaudited  financial  statements  of the
Partnership as of March 31, 2000 include all adjustments and accruals consisting
only of normal  recurring  accrual  adjustments  which are  necessary for a fair
presentation  of the results for the interim  period.  These interim results are
not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications
may have been made to the March 31, 1999 financial  statements to conform to the
March 31, 2000 financial statement presentations.

Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  normally  included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have been  condensed  or  omitted  in this Form 10-Q  pursuant  to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The financial statements
should  be read in  conjunction  with the  financial  statements  and the  notes
thereto  contained in the  Partnership's  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission,  a copy
of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy,  Vice President and
Chief Accounting Officer,  5205 North O'Connor  Boulevard,  1400 Williams Square
West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues  increased 168% to $263,792 for the three
months  ended March 31, 2000 as compared to $98,514 for the same period in 1999.
The increase in revenues  resulted from higher  average  prices  received and an
increase in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 7,007 barrels
of oil, 3,011 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 14,555 mcf of gas were
sold, or 12,444 barrel of oil equivalents  ("BOEs").  For the three months ended
March 31, 1999,  6,141  barrels of oil,  2,069 barrels of NGLs and 11,379 mcf of
gas were sold, or 10,107 BOEs.

The average price  received per barrel of oil increased  $15.55,  or 130%,  from
$11.99 for the three  months  ended March 31, 1999 to $27.54 for the same period
in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $9.35, or 168%,
from  $5.58 for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1999 to $14.93 for the same
period in 2000.  The average  price  received per mcf of gas  increased 52% from
$1.17  during the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $1.78 for the same period
in 2000.  The market  price for oil and gas has been  extremely  volatile in the
past decade,  and management  expects a certain amount of volatility to continue
in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and
gas production at average  prices lower or higher than that received  during the
three months ended March 31, 2000.

The volatility of commodity prices has had, and continues to have, a significant
impact on the Partnership's revenues and operating cash flow and could result in
additional  decreases to the  carrying  value of the  Partnership's  oil and gas
properties.

Gain on disposition  of assets of $8,294 and $14,612 was  recognized  during the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The gain  recognized
during both  periods was due to  equipment  credits  received on fully  depleted
wells.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses  decreased to $128,076 for the three months ended March
31,  2000 as compared  to  $140,525  for the same period in 1999,  a decrease of
$12,449,  or 9%. This  decrease was due to declines in depletion  and  abandoned
property  costs,  offset  by  increases  in  production  costs and  general  and
administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production  costs were  $109,436  for the three  months ended March 31, 2000 and
$86,327 for the same period in 1999 resulting in a $23,109 increase, or 27%. The
increase was  attributable to higher  production  taxes due to increased oil and
gas revenues and additional  well  maintenance  costs incurred to stimulate well
production.

G&A's  components are independent  accounting and engineering  fees and managing
general  partner  personnel  and  operating  costs.   During  this  period,  G&A
increased,  in aggregate,  168% from $2,955 for the three months ended March 31,
1999 to $7,914 for the same period in 2000  primarily  due to increased  oil and
gas revenues.

Depletion  was $10,726  for the three  months  ended March 31, 2000  compared to
$39,604  for the same  period in 1999,  a  decrease  of  $28,878,  or 73%.  This
decrease  was the  result of an  increase  in proved  reserves  during the three
months ended March 31, 2000 as a result of higher commodity prices, offset by an
increase in oil  production  of 866 barrels for the period  ended March 31, 2000
compared to the same period in 1999.

Abandoned property costs of $11,639 incurred during the three months ended March
31, 1999 were related to wells plugged and abandoned during 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating  activities  increased  $64,173  during the three
months  ended  March 31,  2000 from the same period in 1999.  The  increase  was
primarily  attributable to an increase of $100,800 in oil and gas sales receipts
and reductions in abandoned property costs paid of $11,639,  offset by increases
in operating costs paid of $43,891 and G&A expenses paid of $4,375.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

The Partnership's  principal investing  activities during the three months ended
March  31,  1999  were  related  to  expenditures  for  upgrades  of oil and gas
equipment on active properties.

Proceeds from asset  dispositions of $13,944 and $16,240 were recognized  during
the three  months  ended March 31,  2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The  proceeds
recognized  during both periods were primarily  from equipment  credits on fully
depleted wells.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2000,  cash  distributions  to the partners
were $114,082,  of which $1,141 was distributed to the managing  general partner
and $112,941 to the limited partners.  For the same period ended March 31, 1999,
cash  distributions to the partners were $24,317,  of which $135 was distributed
to the managing general partner and $24,182 to the limited partners.

Other Items

Year 2000

During 1998, the managing general partner established a "Year 2000" project that
assessed the Partnership's and the managing general partner's internal Year 2000
problem; took remedial actions necessary to minimize the Year 2000 risk exposure
to the managing  general  partner and third  parties;  and,  tested the managing
general partner's systems and processes once remedial actions were taken.

The  managing  general  partner  has  closely   monitored  its  information  and
non-information   technology  systems  since  the  beginning  of  2000  and  has
identified no significant Year 2000 failures or problems.
